Topic: Getting the Family to attend the Nativity Vigil... (Read 2670 times)

In August, I took my wife, for the first time, to an Orthodox Divine Liturgy. It was the last time I was able to get her to attend it with me to my lament. Since, I have been taking my daughter on and off but not my wife.

We talked about our plans this Christmas and she agreed to attend the Holy Supper and the Vigil this year. I ask for your prayers that this will go well and that my wife will be open to the graces of the parish community and the Vigil.

Thank you very much and God Bless.

St Basil the Great (330-379 A.D.): “I think then that the one goal of all who are really and truly serving the Lord ought to be to bring back to union the churches who have at different times and in diverse manners divided from one another.”

"as [you've] informed us that respect chills love, it is natural to conclude that all your pretty flights arise from your pampered sensibility; and that, vain of this fancied preeminence of organs, you foster every emotion till the fumes, mounting to your brain, dispel the sober suggestions of reason. It is not in this view surprising that when you should argue you become impassioned, and that reflection inflames your imagination instead of enlightening your understanding." - Mary Wollstonecraft

Lord, guide Your servants.

May I ask, what all is your background?

Question a friend, perhaps he did not do it; but if he did anything so that he may do it no more.A hasty quarrel kindles fire,and urgent strife sheds blood.If you blow on a spark, it will glow;if you spit on it, it will be put out; and both come out of your mouth

My whole family went and we made it through the entire Vigil... my wife enjoyed it!

Thanks for the prayers!

Merry Christmas!
